O.K....as of right now all 16 spots are filled. If anything opens up I'll post here immediately. Only 1 week until March 1! E55 Jay's buddy with an E55 has confirmed his spot along with a local guy that is not a member of this board. Thanks.

You have got to be kidding me. I just had a meeting with my boss and I told him I needed the day off and he wants to run too. Are you sure the limit is 16? I know they say its 16 but I've done a bunch of rentals and if you ask them if you can bring a few more cars they say ok, and it costs $100/car. I can ask if you dont want to do it. I'm pretty sure they dont care. I can send you payment as soon as you ok it.

I'll ask my bud to call MIR tomorrow and see if any more cars are allowed for March 1. I'll post here immediately once I know something.

I talked with my bud today who has spoken with Jason at MIR and he emphatically said "no" to more than 16 cars in a group. Maybe you can pull some strings but we could not. Jason's phone # at MIR is 301-884-9833. The reason for this 16 rule is that more than 16 cars is considered an event and that means more staff etc. The track does have the right to have more than 1 group of 8-16 present on the same date so maybe you can make that work in a week. The only problem with that is the fact that the smallest grouping you can reserve is 8 and the cost is $800. At this point there is no way to add to our 16 car grouping for 18 cars.

A group of 8 and group of 10 equals 18 cars. You're charging $100/car anyway right? Whatever, have fun

The 2003 Z06 is one of my bud's co-workers. I had a 2002 Z06 ATI supercharged at one time.

Just curious, a buddy of mine up here has a 2003 Z06 with an ATI on it. His name is Phill, works for Thales. I had a Vortech on my Z06, he just couldn't resist getting blown after I got mine
